I have a new green umbrella, sitting in the car now. There are also 2 cups full of cola drinks sitting in the fridge since last Sunday. They are still there awaiting their fate because neither me nor Wonderful Guy wants to take a go at them.
Also, I've gained a kilo or thereabout since last weekend while I believe Wonderful Guy has added an inch, at least, around the waist, judging from the pudgi-ness that sticks out whenever he sits down without his shirt on.
We have all these now because of the by-product of an excellent marketing campaign by the proprietors of our Sunday dinner. Salesman with a spot on sales promotion on a rainy season. Buy the promoted meal and get an umbrella for free.
It was a real value for money deal. Pay only for the meal which was large enough to feed four persons and get one good quality umbrella for free. An excellent bargain as we could use an additional umbrella for the new baby, the car.
The only small problem was the meal was for four but there were only two of us. We managed to solve it by dividing the food for 3 meals, consumed over 2 days. Nothing wasted, only fat gained.
Ah but alas! The 2 cups of colas still awaits their conqueror, in the fridge.
